Pall Bearers

The Pall bearers bear the body and the body it is light

The pall bearers bear the body its food for maggots tonight

The pall bearers bear the body and they bear them with grief

Though each one of them is a liar a vagabond and a cheat

The pall bearers bear the body and its real tears they cry

Though they're crying for themselves because they know they to will die

The pall bearer bear the body from the coal black hearse

They know each one of them bears the same gypsy curse

The pall bearer bears the body and they bear it with fear

They wonder if they to will be borne this year
